Summary:

• **What is the Rafale-114?** The Rafale-114 is an upgraded version of a fighter jet that India might buy from a French company called Dassault. A fighter jet is a super-fast airplane used by the military to protect a country's airspace.

• **How does buying jets help make new planes?** When India buys these jets, some of the money goes toward helping Dassault develop an even newer, more advanced fighter jet called a 6th generation fighter. It's like when you buy a video game from a company, and part of that money helps them create the next, even better game.
